CONNORS DOESN’T GIMELSTOB WHEN IT COMES TO PORNO: Our new favorite tennis player (as of last week), Justin Gimelstob, unfortunately is now retiring.
 |
The 12-year pro (yeah, we had no idea either) was a goof reporter for Jay Leno where he interviewed players at the tournament. When introducing his segment to Leno, Gimelstob said hoped to have a TV sports media career after retirement, but unfortunately has a face for radio. (Is Jay Mohr now writing for Leno?)
Highlights: Gimelstob to Venus Williams, who he played mixed doubles with: “Why’d you dump me? Was there sexual tension, because I get that a lot, even with my male doubles partners?”
 |
Williams: “I prefer not to talk about that.”
Gimelstob to Jimmy Connors (who was once married to softcore porn model Patti McGuire): “You’ve seen my talent and lack of talent, what do I have in my future? Maybe some porn?”
 |
Connors: “You’ve been around. You know all the ropes, and listen, anytime you can get into porn, take it.”
 |
You know what would get us to watch tennis again? A-holes like Connors and McEnroe. Ol’ timey tennis was just as much theatre and personalities than today’s procession of East European robots and soft-serve American country-clubbers.

There is a reason Ms. McGuire was in the November issue of 1976 and 1977 Playmate of the year at the age of 25 and 26 when the hiring age was supossed 18 to 21 for bunnies who were single.
She had a Mrs. in front of her name to a man who adored her in everyway possible for 6 years then a family issue of mistrust overwhelmed both of them She recovered, he never did. Check the November
1974 St. Louis Conty Court Records.
He sacrificed too much, ask anyone who knew him.
